Exclusion Criteria
  • Prior radiotherapy, chemotherapy or resection (bypass surgery allowed).
  • Lymph node metastases from primary tumor outside the field of radiation.
  • Second primary malignancy except in situ carcinoma of the cervix, adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, or other malignancy treated at least 3 years previously without evidence of recurrence.
  • Pregnancy, breast feeding.
  • Serious concomitant systemic disorders that would compromise the safety of the patient or his/her ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the investigator.
